Section II. Requirements for Members of the Board
In order to be elected as a member of the board, one must have been an active member for at least two months. Members of the board must attend at least fifty percent of educational sessions during the semester of service to TMAV. Members of the board must uphold the integrity of the organization.

Section III. Election Format
Officers will be first nominated then seconded, whereupon there will be a secret vote. Only active members will be eligible to vote. TMAV will vote on officers during the March organizational meeting.

Section IV. Term of Office
Board members will train officers-elect during the month of April. The new board members will be inducted into office during the May organizational meeting. The term of office is one full year.

Section V. Loss of Active Membership Status
If a member has broken the attendance agreement or has failed to uphold his commitment to the membership contract, then he is eligible for impeachment proceedings. In this case, the board will vote on the status of his membership. A 2/3 vote of the board is necessary for deciding the vote. A 2/3 vote of the board and two months of active member attendance are sufficient for readmitting a member who previously had lost status.
